Each legislator is rated from 1 to 4. Young representative Barney Frank is rated “1,” meaning that he had supported an anti-discrimination bill last year; he is also listed as one of many sponsors of the legislation.

It shall be the business of my life to deepen this disappointment in every woman’s heart until she bows down to it no longer” (https://issuu.com/ centerforthestudyofpoliticalgraphic/docs/out_of_the_ closet_exhibition/107) 112 113
